He has previous with this kind of thing.

Another year, another Eurovision, another abysmal performance by a Brit. To be fair, though, at least SuRie had something of an excuse, as her song was interrupted by a protestor.

He was quickly ushered offstage by security and SuRie managed to complete her performance.
